SNOW!

We had a nice snow storm on Saturday. As soon as Richard realized it had snowed, he was asking to go play in it. I made him eat breakfast first, but I daresay he didn't eat as much as he usually does. He seemed to have a great time! He stomped through the snow, threw snow balls, and just went beserk. We also brought Audrey outside, but she seemed very unsure of what to do in the snow. She much preferred walking on the sidewalk. Scott helped her as it was very slippery. Neither child has snowpants and so both came in with soaking wet pants. Alas. I'm cheap and don't want to buy something for $30 that may be worn only a couple of times depending on how much it snows this year and how long it sticks around. Richard only came in because Scott was getting tired of being outside. I went out again with Richard later in the day and also had to make him come in because I was getting cold.

We were able to go to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional on Sunday, which was wonderful. My sister so kindly volunteered to watch the kids so we could go. It has been a very long time since Scott and I have done something together without the kids that was not in our family room. It's always wonderful to go to the Conference Center, listen to the First Presidency, and hear the MTC sing. I just enjoyed it so much more as it was given to me rather than solicted to work out by me.
